The deadly bite of the tarantula

Cornelia Schaeffer from Frankfurt am Main – a con artist, inheritance hunter, psychopath, and power-obsessed. Elias Schaeffer – her brother, who has long refused contact with her. A fighter for his rights, who uncovers a huge scandal surrounding her. Elias leads a tranquil existence on the outskirts of Cologne. In his mid-forties, he works conscientiously in the housekeeping department of a large company, enjoys quiet evenings in his own home, and feels completely content. But his carefully constructed equilibrium is shaken when his younger sister, Cornelia from Frankfurt, tries by all means to bring him back to the vibrant metropolis – if necessary by blackmailing him for their deceased parents' supposed inheritance. Just then, Elias meets the cheerful Missy Engels, 24 years young, new to the company, and full of energy. A tender love blossoms between the two, which finally gives Elias the feeling of truly having arrived. But the closer their affection grows, the darker Elias' sister casts a shadow: confidential documents, opaque money flows, and a controversial affair that could not only bring the family into disrepute, but also plunge all of Germany into a major scandal... Exciting, captivating, disturbing. A thriller about power, greed, true love, and vulnerability from the pen of Elias J. Connor. Based on a true story.
